Some Polaris snowmobiles with the Matryx platform are equipped with three individual SmartWarmers heated grips. If equipped, they are found on the left handgrip, right handgrip and right thumb throttle lever. The warmers automatically adjust in response to ambient temperature and windchill to always keep the temperature of the grips at the preset temperature.
Note: Matryx RMK sleds are not equipped with SmartWarmers.
There are four heat settings:
- Low
- Medium
- High
- Off
If your snowmobile is equipped with a 7S Display, you can change the heat level by pressing the Heated Grip button (1) on the left hand controls or by opening the Badge Panel on the 7S Display.
The heat levels of the grips are customizable by temperature. To change the heat settings of your hand grips, press the Polaris button to open the Badge Panel.
In the Heated Grips section of the Badge Panel, press the HEATED GRIPS SETTINGS button on the touchscreen. To customize the temperature of your hand grips and thumb lever, use the PLUS and MINUS buttons beside each heat level to choose your preferred setting. Click the X in the top left of the screen or the Back button to close the menu.
The Heated Grips button, shown below, changes the level of hand grip warmth to low, medium, high or off.
The Heated Grips Settings button, shown below, opens the SmartWarmers settings to customize the temperature of each heat level.
